Re: HELP my jeeps drowning
 

First try adjusting the bar to allow the window to pull back further to
compress the gasket and check your wiper motor cover ensure it is up tight
in the lip of the gasket this assists in compressing the gasket against the
top and bottom of the window.

If all else fails and you do not need to drop your windshield silicone can
be your friend. Remove the gasket, run a bead around the complete
circumference of the dash mating area, replace the gasket, and do the same
around the bottom of the windshield. I did this on my CJ when it came time
to replace the gasket because aftermarket gaskets are not as good as the
OEMs. It should be as leak proof as a frogs butt.

Re: HELP my jeeps drowning
 

The stock ones come with two sided tape in that front lip to keep water
out. They will leak like a sieve without it.

Do 'not' use silicone of any type. It reacts with humidity and will
fast rot out the frame from it's fumes going acid.

If you must use goop, get the proper windshield stuff.
